Success Stories

Before

After

Misaligned Teeth – Tory

Tory wasn’t happy with her crowded arches, misaligned teeth, and a blocked out right incisor.

Teeth Splotches – Rick

Rick was unhappy with the look of his smile. Some of his teeth showed white and yellow “splotches”. His previous history of fillings made his teeth look “old and tired”. The heights of his teeth were also irregular, and detracted from his overall smile.

Dr. Krebs achieved this excellent result with a combination of cosmetic bleaching, bonded Porcelain veneers, and bonded Porcelain crowns.

Rick is very happy with the ensuing result.

After

Teeth Discoloration – Quoc

Quoc suffers from heavy, dark discolouration from the antibiotic Tetracycline, taken as a young child. He also had an end-to-end bite which brings about an accelerated wear of his front teeth. He also had some “dishing out” of the enamel on his teeth.

Dr. Huynh achieved this wonderful smile with a combination of cosmetic bleaching, and bonded Porcelain Veneers.

Total treatment time was about 1 to 2 weeks.

Before

After

Teeth Color – Millie

Millie was unhappy with the colour of her teeth. Also, the recession and “notches” in her roots detracted from her smile. Dr. Krebs started by a simple routine of “at home” bleaching. This resulted in a general lightening of the body of her teeth. Then, direct composite bonding completed her smile. Much of this work can be accomplished without freezing.

Before

After

Misaligned Teeth – Mike

Mike had only slightly misaligned teeth, with some rotations and crowding.

He had small upper lateral incisors which resulted in gaps of the upper front teeth.

Dr. Krebs achieved this smile using a combination of traditional braces and cosmetic bonding of the upper incisors, once the orthodontic treatment was complete.

Treatment took about 18 months.

After

Misaligned Teeth – Katelyn

Katelyn was unhappy with her crowded arches, misaligned teeth, her anterior open bite and a blocked out left incisor.

Dr. Krebs used a functional appliance with traditional braces, followed by cosmetic bleaching, to create Katelyn’s beautiful smile.

Treatment took about 18 months.

Before

After

Open Bite – Jill

Jill has always had beautiful looking teeth. However, due to a retained tongue thrust, she has always had an anterior open bite, preventing her upper and lower anterior teeth from contacting.

Dr Huynh achieved this beautiful result using traditional braces and cosmetic bleaching.

Treatment was completed in about 14 months. Jill is thrilled with the look of her smile.

Before

After

Ground Teeth – Jennifer M.

Jennifer always had very nice looking teeth. She had braces when she was younger and her orthodontist ground the ends of her front teeth. This flattening left her with a more “masculine” look than what her smile deserved.

Dr Krebs achieved this excellent result by Porcelain Veneer bonding. This made her front teeth slightly longer, with rounder corners, resulting in a beautiful, more “feminine” smile.

Treatment time took about 2 weeks.

Before

After

Teeth Alignment – Chris

Chris was unhappy with the spacing between his upper teeth, as well as the uneven appearance caused by some slight misalignments.

Dr. Huynh achieved an excellent result through the combination of cosmetic bleaching and bonded Porcelain veneers.

Chris is very pleased with his smile which took about 2 weeks to complete, without freezing and temporary teeth.

Before

After

Teeth Gaps – Jennifer

Jennifer disliked two aspects of her smile:

Her upper front teeth were very rectangular and long. They did not have the rounded contours that we would have liked.

Her upper front teeth were also quite narrow, producing gaps in her smile.

Dr. Huynh achieved this beautiful result using bonded Porcelain veneers.

Treatment didn’t require freezing or temporary crowns and took between 1 and 2 weeks.

I attended McMaster University where I received my B.Sc. I received my DDS degree from the University of Toronto.

We have tried with Eastbridge Dental Care to foster a caring and relaxed atmosphere, and for that I must thank my Associates, Trang and Dave and our excellent staff. Each and everyone work hard to provide you with the best experience possible. Drop by and say “Hello”, and I think you will agree.

I am married to another dentist (Dr. Christina Heidinger) and have two fine sons. (While not youngsters, they still keep me busy!) My interests include reading, history, tennis, snowboarding, music/recording, movies and miniature war gaming. Oh, and like Dr. Huynh, I also like food (maybe more than she does).

Dental Hygienist

Hi I’m Janet, or more commonly Jan.

Eastbridge Dental Care has been an awesome place to work, ever since starting with Dr Krebs in May of 1989, as one of his first dental hygienists. It has been great watching the families, staff and practice grow!

As a dental hygienist, I clean teeth, take xrays and teach proper dental care. I continually take expanded education courses like orthdontics, visalign, vizalite (an oral cancer screening procedure) and periowave, all of which we have implemented into our practice.

I graduated from the University of Toronto in 1976 from the dental hygiene program. I am an active member of the ODHA, and CDHA.

In 2002 I opened a store in St. Jacobs, called Turtle Dove Native Gifts. I sell Canadian Native made products including; soapstone’s, prints, original paintings, jewellery and more. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends.

Hi I’m Krista the Head Assistant at Eastbridge Dental Care. My career started in May 1994 with Eastbridge, and I assist Dr. Krebs on a day to day basis.

In 1994 I attended Career Canada College – and obtained my CDA Level 1, and in 2002 I obtained my CDA Level II certification.

Eastbridge Dental is almost my home away from home, I love it here! The casual, fun atmosphere, and the other staff members, makes for an excellent work environment. And our patients are incredible, many of which I consider friends.

With three young children, I don’t always have a lot of spare time but I do enjoy jogging outdoors when the weather is nice. Shopping is always a great way to spend some extra time…and I am a reluctant skier and snowboarder. However, my après-skiing is excellent!

I hope that I can make your visit to Eastbridge Dental Care as comfortable as possible. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask me.
